Kristaps Porzingis officially pledged his allegiance to the Latvian national team while revealing he hasn’t spoken to the Knicks since the season ended.
The Knicks’ star big man held a news conference Monday in his native Latvia to announce he would be playing for his country in this summer’s European Championships. During the news conference, Porzingis said he has not had “any contact” with the Knicks.
Porzingis skipped out on his end-of-season interview with president Phil Jackson and other Knicks officials because of frustration over all the drama surrounding the team and the direction of the franchise.
